<H2>Yaws</H2>


Yaws is a HTTP 1.1
webserver currently under rapid development. 
Two separate modes of operations are supported.
<br>
<ul>
<li> Standalone mode where yaws runs as a regular webserver daemon. This is the default mode.
<li> Embedded mode wher Yaws runs as an embedded webserver in an
another erlang application. This mode is ideal when we want to build a web UI
to control an erlang application
</ul>

<br>
Yaws is entirely written in <a href="http:www.erlang.org">Erlang</a>, 
futhermore it is a multithreaded webserver where one Erlang light weight 
processis used to handle each client.
<br>

Yaws has excellent capabilies to generate dynamic content. Erlang code
can be embedded into the HTML code in manner similar 
to <a href="http://www.php.net">php</a>. As matter of fact, the 
ad-hockery of php was one of major reasons I started the Yaws project.

The homepage of Yaws is <a href="http://yaws.hyber.org">yaws.hyber.org</a>

The documentation, examples as well as releases can be found there, and 
of cource, <a href="http://yaws.hyber.org">yaws.hyber.org</a> is:

<h2>Build and install</h2>

Yaws is hosted by <a href="http://sourceforge.net"><img src="http://sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=45637&type=1" width="88" height="31" border="0" alt="SourceForge.net Logo"></a>. To check out the latest source first install 
an <a href="http://www.erlang.org">Erlang</a> system, then do:


<pre>

# export CVS_RSH=ssh 
# cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.erlyaws.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/erlyaws login
# cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.erlyaws.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/erlyaws co .
# cd yaws; make; make install
</pre>

Will checkout the bleeding edge source, build it and install it.
